Aquaphor Healing Ointment Reviews

I keep this around the house for cuts, burns, and scrapes. I also use it on my lips. In the winter, I slather it on my chapped, raw hands, cover with white cotton gloves for as many nights as necessary, and wind up with totally rejuvenated skin. Good stuff!

I love this product! My lips are super dry from Accutane and I need to apply product every hour or so. Although I had been skeptical (I thought that Aquaphor was just another petroleum product like Vaseline, and I'd already tried tons of lip balms to soothe my lips), I decided to give Aquaphor a shot because of all of the MUA reviews. I'm really glad I did, because Aquaphor works great.
PROS: Work...read mores great on lips and hands. The first time I applied it, I could feel my lips absorbing it, but without tingling or burning. My hands felt fantastic after applying. Does seem to work better than Carmex, Chapstick (regular, peppermint or moisturizing varieties) and better than my rose salve.
CONS: The convenient travel-size tubes are a little spendy, especially compared to the larger bottle (It's about $6 for two little 0 .35 oz tubes). I did need to start rotating this product w/chapstick b/c after a few days, the Aquaphor didn't feel as effective.
Also, I use this on my tattoos as they're healing, It's great stuff, and keeps them from itching and getting dried out and flaky during the healing process. My tattoo artist recommended it and that's what I'm sticking with!
Overall, if you have really really chapped lips, this is a HG product! (I almost went into a panic when I thought I'd lost a tube, if that's any indication of how important this stuff is to a dry-lipped lady!)— 4 years, 4 months ago

This is very thick, rich, fragrance-free ointment. I recently had sunburns. I used after sun aloe gel for a while, but a few days later my skin was getting itchy. I used Aquaphor Original Ointment, my itch was gone and the skin did not peel as much as when I use regular body lotion. Works great! Highly recommended.

soothes skin, and promotes skin healing. i use it on my elbows, knees, feet, and scars. I have seen a reduction in some of my scars. It really helps the skin repair itself. Very hydrating.

I use this for dry lips, on scrapes and paper-cuts when I don't have Neosporin on hand, on my cuticles when I don't have cuticle oil on hand, etc. As other reviewers mentioned, this is also a great product for tattoo after-care. I developed an allergic reaction to what my tattoo artist sent me home with and had to switch over to Bacitracin and chose to use this in conjunction with it, as I was goi...read moreng crazy without the extra moisture while they went through their "fun" peeling process. In turn, my tattoos healed in just a few days as opposed to weeks. I highly recommend this product to anyone. — 3 years, 3 months ago

This stuff is heaven sent. It has a petrolatum jelly type consistency to it but is wonderful. Use it only at night to lock in moisture. Use moisturizing gloves after putting this on and you'll have beautiful moisturized skin. Put it on your feet and use cotton socks and wake up with softer feeling feet. It's not a miracle ointment but it works wonders. I also use it on my lips when I can't f...read moreind lip balm! I wet my lips and then slather this on. In the morning, my lips aren't flaky and are smooth!— 6 years, 1 month ago
